If you're about to welcome a new baby into the world then you'll no doubt be making sure you have everything you need for their arrival.
If you're still in the throes of this and need a few helpful ideas of what to buy, why not read this 8-point list? 1.
If you've started pram shopping, you'll know that some of them come with baby changing bags as part of the package.
However, if you're not satisfied with the bag, then why not browse the wide selection on the market.
If you're a father who'd prefer something less feminine, then it's a worthwhile investment.
2.
Breastpumps are very important if you're feeling sore or you'd prefer not to breast-feed in public.
You can even express milk yourself, so your partner can feed the baby for a change.
3.
Organic baby skin care products are excellent for protecting your baby's skin, especially as most other soap-based products contain chemicals that could make them sore.
4.
It is also a good idea to consider organic baby clothes, as they too will be good for their skin.
Consider getting a few babygrows that they'll be comfortable to sleep in.
5.
You'll need nappies, but don't over-buy before you know how big they're going to be.
Your baby's comfort is most important, so be ready to buy in bulk once they've arrived.
6.
Blankets are always a favourite for babies, but they also provide parents with peace of mind knowing their little one in warm and comfortable.
7.
If you want to keep your arms free, but still carry your baby with you, consider getting a sling or carrier that is comfortable for walking around outside and indoors.
8.
Newborn baby gifts often include things to make the parent's life easier, but it's worth making sure the baby has something too.
Toys may seem advanced for very new arrivals, but there are many on the market that will keep them entertained and help stop them from crying.
